Instant Pot Sous Vide Bacon Egg Bites

Instant Pot Sous Vide Bacon Egg Bites is taking all great ingredients and creating a beautiful breakfast. This is a popular breakfast, but we are making it more convenient in the Instant Pot for breakfast for the week!

These egg bites are very popular, served by Starbucks. The nearest Starbucks is over 30 miles, so I can't swing by on my way to work. I have tried a few things when we travel, and ate a Blueberry in an airport in Texas. One time I sent my husband to the lobby in Indy to get me a Black Tea from Starbucks. I think he came back with something else from a different vendor.

It was amazing how the steam option made these egg bites so fluffy and they do raise in the mason jars so don't fill them all the way full.

The definition of Souse Videis Sous-vide (/suːˈviːd/; French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times. The great thing about Instant Pot is it is taking this way of cooking, and speeding up the process. This was the first time I used the "steam" option, and was very cautious about using it to make these eggs. The eggs were so light, and fluffy. I loved the taste. I felt like I was eating a high-end breakfast. So I broke out my grandmother's china dishes to enjoy this breakfast!

It doesn't get any prettier than this.INSTANT POT SOUS VIDE BACON EGG BITES
